ABTHORPE WAR MEMORIAL

In
the grounds of St. John The Baptist, Abthorpe.
Very Weathered but just about readable on a
Stone Cross with Plinth. In 2005 an extra plaque was added that contained
the inscriptions in a readable form. Below the memorial, inset into
the wall is a list of men who served and retured which is now hard to
read and has not been transcribed here.
